Special dispatch to the Ledger.
FARBER, Mo-, July 11.-An at
tempt was made last night to destroy
the depot at this place by fire. The
agent had just closed up and crossed
the tracks to his hotel, and before he
had been away from the depot ten
minutes a cry of FIRE was started, and
someone passing the depot saw q
blaze inside, and catching up a buck
ct of water ran in and put it out,
The agent had locked the ticket Of
fee securely before leaving, and 1t is
evident that some spiteful person,
having a knowledge of the place,
broke in. The fire was in the desk,
and was burning at a furious rate.
Detectives have been sent for and
will work the matter up. The depot
Is a new one, the other one having
been burned down.
A mulatto, about 40 years of age,
was caught in a cornield near here
Friday, suffering from some brain
disease. When found he was tear
ing corn up by the roots and eating
the tender shoots. The man was UNI
able to say a word, but raved furious
ly.' He was put IN the calaboose,
and a physician called, but the negro
died yesterday, without giving any
account of himself, and will be buried
at the expense of the county.

The Artesian Well at Clinton, Me

The Artesian Well at Clinton, Mo.
CLINTON, Mo, July 9.-The drill
at the natural gas well has been run
ming all day and a depth of 365 feet
has been reached. The strong flow
of water is steady, has increased
rapidly now it is estimated that the
flow is fully 100 gallons per minute.
Hundreds of people go to see the
well and drink the water, which is
very palatable and is claimed by those
who drank it to have a laxative effect.
The water is being applied to bruises,
burns and bunions to try its medical
qualities. At a meeting of the direc-
tors it was decided to continue bor-
ing to a depth of 700 feet in the hope
of finding gas. Many are in favor of
utilizing the water, building a park,
hotel, etc., and making it a health
and pleasure resort. Excitement is
high and there is talk of having a well
dug on the public square. Shares in
the company are not for sale at
all. The people rejoice over the find.
The water will be analysed.

whether or not the spleniu fever Of
J. G., Downs cattle at Rush Hill has
been brought there by infectious cat
tie Of Southern birth, etc, To thia
| viii say that there isa certain kind
of cattle from Southern States that
are capable Of communicating a
spienie fever, hut so far as known, IL
seems that they cannot do that If
brought to this country where frost
can destroy the virus. Certain for,
eign cattle have been on MIR. Downs
pasture some time ago, but | am told
they were shipped to this country
during the season Of frost and | hope
l was told the truth. Let me say that
the so-ealied Texas fever comes
under the heading Of anthrax
disease and that the various forms Of
this Electromagnetic fever, splenic
appoplexy, charhonous fever, etc.
have symptoms and LESSONS in COM
mon. Many things are a mystery yet
regarding the origin and nature OF
these commonly called splenic af-
fections which we hope we may be
able to elueidate some day in the
near future, - In the meantime let
people beware of Southern cattle,
and Jet those who have any not keep
them with natives. Until we have

The manufacture of sugar is one of the
minor industries OF the country, the growing
of wool one of its most important. The
duties on sugar for the last fiscal year were
something over S5s,OOO,0O0, while the reve-
$6,000,0O0. President CLEVELAND wants to
reduce the revenue, is very anxious to do so;
therefore he advises that wool be placed on
the free list, but says nothing about sugar.
The manufacture of sugar is entirely confined
TO the South, while wool-growing is largely a
Northern industry. See?
